smith, knowlton, Thompson, Camel and
Conway are with the club.
In conversation with Manager Morton
last evening. Manager Watkins, OF the
Detroits, stated MS reasons for wishing to
cancel his games mere. When he came
to make arrangements Tor railroad rates
nom New Orleans TO Savannah, the
agents in New Orleans informed MIN
that tue rates had advanced 10 almost
double what he had been led to
expect from previous correspondence,
that unless the attendance at the
games here is very large he could not pay
expenses. de at once wired Manager
Morton TO cancel games. Mr.. Mortor's
answer insisting on tue fultlment OF the
contract was no more, he said, than he
expected. Through an error of the
agent he had arranged to leave
New Orleans sunday morning, but at the
last moment was informed that he could
not arrive here in time TO play Monday.
Manager Watkins expresses regret that
be had in any way disappointed the
patrons OF the game in Savannah, and he
assured MIR. Morton that the Detroits
Will Go all in their power to please them
IN the three games that they will play
here.
We have just come from New Orleans
and Mobile" ne SAID, "wnere we played
two OF the Southern League clubs. While
the clubs are not up to the standard of
tue clubs IN the league last season, the
people are very enthusiastic and they
mean business. New Orleans declares
herself for first place"
Savannah will see the Detroits in full
playing trim, and much stronger than
when they were here last season.
Broutbers, Dunlop and Thompson were
the home run heroes in New Orleans, and
everybody is wondering If they will re-
peat their performance here.
The batteries in tO-day's game will be
Conway and BriOdy for Detroit, and Nc
Arthur and Dallas for Savannah. The
game Will be called al $3.50 O'Clock.

q "BILL ARP'S" LECTURE.
Georgia's Humorist Tells What He
Knows About Little Folks.

Georgia's Hunorist Tells What He
Knows About Little Folks.
The first lecture of the Young Mems
Christian Association course at Odd Eel
lows Hall last night was a gratifying
success. A fine audience was in attend.
ance, and the most noted leo
turer and humOrist In the South occupied
the platform.
Mai. Charles II. Smith, or "BIl Arp"
as he is known tar and near,
bad never lectured in Savannah
before last night, but his reputation
as humorIst and philosopher led the
audience to expect a rare treat. That
the expectation was fully realized was
attested by the frequent and hearty ap-
plause and the almost incessant laughter
with which the lecture was received.
The subject was Thirty Years Among
the Infantry" The lecturer began by
explaining how he came to assume
the name "Bill Arp" 1t
seems that queer genius
of that name once heard MAJ. Smith read
one of his famous humorous letters, and
requested that when it was published the
signature "Bill Arp" should be attached.
The request was granted. The same sig
nature was attached to other letters, and
IL was not long before he found thar the
public would not allow him to drop it.
Following this explanation. the lecturer
entered into description of the slave
holding aristocracy of the South, point
ing out its patrlarchal nature, and then
easily gliding into an account OF the de-
lights and troubles incident to the rear
ing of children. Those who were in the
secret enjoyed the surprise OF the audi.
enee when it was discovered among
what kind OF "infantry" the lecturer had
spent so many years
"Bill Apps" manner is quiet; he does
not resort to any of the tricks Of the elo-
cutionist; but he follows sense with wit,
with such lightning-like rapdity that the
interest OF the hearers never flags. He is
notlacking in patnos. At times his beau
fuI tributes to the ''befo' de wahv South
erners, not excepting the negroes, caused
the tear to start. Then there was "a flash
of humOr and every body laughed.
In the audience last night were many
Of Savannah's most cultured citizens.
At the close of the lecture they crowded
around the humOrist, and gave express
zion TO the great pleasure he had given
them. He himself was delighted with his
reception, and said that be hoped at some
time in the future to lecture in Savannah
. again.

ROUGH WEATAER All SEA.
Two Sailors Lost From the Bark
Vidette.


The bark Vidette, Capt. Tunnel, ar
rived at Tybee yesterday morning from
BoQth Bay with a cargo of ice. 1T was
The toughest voyage l ever experienced"
said Capt. Tunnel to a MORNING News
reporter.

years." he went on, shut never met with
such a continuation of heavy gales be-
fore. I'VE left Booth Bay on March II, and
as soon as we got to sea encountered
nothing but gales all the way down.
Those from the northwest were most SO =

waves kept continually washing over the
vessel, and everything movable ON deck
was swept overheard. The off-shore winds
drove the vessel well down to the south
ward.

O'Clock on the morning of March o.
TWO of the crew were washed over
board and lost. They were at the pumps
just previous to going over. There were
altogether four men standing at midship
by the pumps when terrific sea swept
over the vessel and washed them off their
feet. Two OF them went over with the rece-
ding wave, while the other two were saved
by one OF those chances which seem MI
raculous. Striking against the bulwarks,
they lodged, the sea sweeping over them.
They were bruised and cut, but held fast

from the southwest, forming a regular

COTTON PRESS STOCK.
What Started the Boom and Who
Are the Buyers.

What Started the Boom and Who
Are the Buyers.
The stir over the rise in Cotton Press
stock almost equals the excitement dur
ing the great Central railroad contest.
There are four cotton press companies in
Savannah. the Lamar, the Tyler, the
Upper aud Lower hydraulic. The three
last named comprise the savannah Cot
ton Press Association. These companies
own, In addition to their congresses, a
large wharf frontage and a number
OF warehouses. A part of
the property, that OF the
Upper Hydraulic Press, lies between
w est Broad and Jefferson streets but the
bulk OF 1t extends from Randolph street
east to the Gordon wharves, hall IA mile OF
water front. Since the ombinatIon the
stock has paid handsomely, and has gone
up considerable above par, owing to the
reduction in the expense OF operating the
presses. The 'DOOm" which
started last week was quite unex-
pected by those who are acquainted with
the situation, and it Is not improbable
that an offer OF $500 are will bring ali
holdings into the market.
The question is, VINO is negotiating for
the property, and for what purpose is it
wanteds The most popular solution is
that the Central railroad is after
II, and that the property particularly de-
sired Is that in the eastern part OF the
city, which 1t is supposed the Central de-
slres for wharves for its steamships. This
scarcely appears probable, however, as
the company mas hundTsds OF thousands
OF dollars invested IN wharves and
warehouses in the western part of
the city. with ample room for
any demand which may De made upon it
in the future growth OF It's business. This
would not be the case were IL TO change
Its wharyes to the eastern side OF the city,
where space would b. Limited
IL is also asserted that the property is
sought as wharf front for one of the new
railroads which are to be built TO this
city-the Savannah and Western or
the Savannah, Dublin and West
ern. sui another theory Is that
the New York syndicate which
owns the Central railroad proposes
to monopohze the COMPRISING
Ssiness OF Georg a, Alabama and South
Carolina, and that the control OF the cotton
presses in Savannah is necessary 10 the
success OF the scheme. This latter ap.
pears TO be tho most plausible theory, as
1t does not see ID possible that any net of
men who have money TO buy 80 valuable
a property would throw 1t away by de-
stroying the property. II wharf room is
what Is needed there Is plenty Of IL TO be
obtained at much lower figures than those
which would be added up ia the sum
total Of the STOCK Of the cotton press COM
panies at 5000 u share.
There is one thing very evident, that
there is an immense amount OF capital
being concentrated IN property here for
some purpose, and everything that can
be bought has an upWapd tendency.

COLD WAVE ARRIVES.

Fruit and Vegetable Growers Anx-
ions for Their Crops.
THE signal service did not get very
much the start of the cold wave which
struck Savannah last night. The cold
wave flag was hoisted OH the post Office
building at IL O'Clock yesterday morning,
and three hours later the wave was on
hand.
A 20-degs. fall in temperature by 7
O'Clock this morning was the prediction
made by the Washington observer. At
~ midnight the prediction verified. When
No. last observation was taken at the
. Ixnal Office last night mercury was at

Charlsston and savannah's New Branch

Roadmaster j. w. Craig, OF the
Charleston and Savannah railway, has
completed the grading for the fve-mile
extension Of the Charleston and Savannah
railway from RavenePs to Young's
Island. The work was done in seven
days by force OF 800 hands, under the
supervision of Mr.. Craig, and is one OF
the quickest and most creditable pieces
OF this kind oil work ever done in this
country, as before the grading could be
done it was first necessary TO make a
clearing through the virgin forest.
The new road will be known as the Sea
Island branch OF the Charleston aud Sa-
vaunah railway. 1T Will extend from
RavenePs, a station twenty-tnree miles
from Charleston, to YOung's Island, a
distance of five miles. IL will be the
means OF giving the farmers In that sec
ton an all-rail route for the shipment of
their vegetables to the North, and will
rive Charleston daily connection with

from Charleston TO Edisto can then be
made in one hour and forty minutes,
